Sarouk Ferahan
Those carpets produced in the Ferahan plain area of Arak Province in western Iran at the end of the late 19th century up to WWI in fine weaves and high quality wool. Often they employ traditional medallion patterns. The fabric is of a firm, leathery texture, stiffer than the previous Ferahans. Sizes are generally 4’ x 6’, but room size pieces are available. These rugs are a transition to the full Sarouk weave popular after 1920.
